A well-established and rapidly growing UK manufacturer is looking to recruit a Business Development-focused Technical Sales Engineer to strengthen the team and drive substantial business growth.
The Role
This is a business development-oriented role, focused on the sale of technical products either directly to customers or through distribution networks. The successful candidate will be instrumental in expanding the company’s reach by nurturing relationships with existing clients and distributors, while actively seeking new business opportunities, securing new distributors, and acquiring new customers.
You will be given a high level of autonomy to manage your schedule, arrange meetings, and take ownership of your sales pipeline to meet growth and profitability targets. A proactive approach to identifying new business opportunities, understanding market trends, and attending key trade shows will be critical. Cold calling and prospecting for new clients will form a significant part of your day-to-day activities, as you work to establish new business relationships and grow the client base.
The role is primarily office-based, with occasional travel to trade events and client visits across the UK, and occasionally Europe. The company’s products are utilised across various industries, including environmental, medical, and industrial sectors.
The ideal candidate will be a self-starter with strong business development experience, the ability to sell complex technical products, and a knack for identifying and capitalising on new business opportunities. Tailoring solutions to meet the needs of both retail and trade customers will be essential for success.
